Dear All



After the success and blisters from last year's 10km run I have decided once again to push myself with a new wacky challenge. When I was younger the doctors said I properly wouldn’t be able to cycle but I wasn’t going to take no for an answer. I have always enjoyed cycling around our village but have always found it difficult with judging distances and spotting pot holes. So when we were thinking of my next challenge, I couldn’t help but think how cycling to Paris could push me a bit further. With the help of a number of guides / supporters including my father I will be cycling on a specially designed route from Hampshire to Paris from the 11th to 14th July. Sounds a bit crazy but I am!!!

This year I have decided to support a charity that is so close to me and has benefitted me and others massively, Sailing for the blind. A couple of years ago I was so lucky to be introduced to this charity, that allows visually impaired and blind people to sail, without being told they can’t, which so many take for granted. There are many wonderful individuals that give up their precious time in their busy lives to help people like myself enjoy sports and even compete at national and international levels. Many of the sailors had been born blind or impaired yet some developed a disease that has turned their whole world upside down. Thanks to this charity myself and others like me can do what we love, with some of the most inspiring people and it allow me to feel like I’m not alone. It would mean the world to me if you were to sponsor me and my dad to cycle to Paris for a charity that has changed my life and hopeful many more. 

Thank you
